Tennessee CEO sorry for comparing Michelle Obama to chimp in email
|
|
A Tennesee CEO has apologised after comparing Michelle Obama to a famous movie chimp in an emailed "joke".
Walt Baker, the CEO of the Tennessee Hospitality Association, stirred controversy after forwarding an offensive e-mail to several people, including the media and a public official, comparing the US First Lady to Cheetah from the Tarzan movies.
Baker has now issued an apology in a statement, saying he only meant the gag as a form of "political humor."
"I deeply apologize to anyone who is offended by this action. I hope that those who know me realize that the message was not intended to be malicious or hurtful in any way and can find it in their hearts to forgive me," the New York Daily News quoted Baker as saying.
He told News Channel 5: "I did not think or consider its implications, other than that it was political humor. I am saddened that anyone misinterpreted the sentiments behind the e-mail." (ANI) |

Nashville Herald

The Nashville Herald is essentially a local Nashville newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Nashville, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.
The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.
We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.
Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.
We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Nashville, Tennessee, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Nashville Herald. |
